DOGTORS is an AAT provider, not a 'club'. The training at DOGTORS is unsurpassed in ALL areas of AAT. We also provide post-graduate OJT for rehabilitation work with Physical Therapists. Our Teams have several advantages over other AAT groups:
'Visiting' is the only time invested. There are no 'service' hours or non-AAT CE's required. You may participate in seminars or events as you wish and will be supported by DOGTORS as you request.
DOGTORS has a professional AAT Specialist course available AAT-Standard Yearly Vet checks with a Vet-friendly form.

DOGTORS is not owned or operated by a group and is not a 501(c)3. However, DOGTORS does operate solely as an all-volunteer community service, which means class fees, etc. are based only to offset the expenses. DOGTORS can accept contributions, but they are NOT tax deductable.
DOGTORS commitment is to remain 100% focused on providing the best Animal-Assisted Therapy Teams in the country.

Recertification is based on the Team's total yearly visit hours.
Our Teams make one phone call for everything. There is no waiting for the 'next meeting' for an answer.
Our Teams can receive up to a 25% discount for professional Veterinary services and medications.

Most people think about dogs when they think about animal-assisted therapy, but all of our 'therapists' are not dogs. We currently 2 cats, a rabbit and 4 miniature horses which have their own role, or 'specialty' in AAT. Every species has its uniqueness and DOGTORS uses these creatures in the appropriate environment.
